What happens if you leave your animal crossing island for a long time?

Answer: Nothing really. There might be a few more weeds and one or more villagers might be considering leaving, but you can fix that by just talking to them and asking them not to go. I've been time-traveling a LOT (back and forth over a sixty year period) and I've suffered zero repercussions.
